property
(1)
Cherry Park
(2)
Bryce Gordon Gift.
Cherry Park (12-16 acres-Walnut Cove) is located on Highway #89.
There has been no survey done since the original Deed in the

Mr. Gordon’s gift of property to Forsyth Tech and Stokes

and payment of assistance; source of funds
Ms. Scott noted that the DSS 2002/03 Budget of $33,365,546,
contains a total County share of $2,734,005.
Without the County’s share,
there would be no draw down from the Federal and State.
Ms. Scott concluded that if the Child Welfare Program is not
administered by the County, the State would intervene, take away County
responsibility, run the program, and bill the County for the
cost.
Chairman McHugh requested verification that reimbursement
for the Adult Day Care Program can still be received if another entity other
than the County provides the matching funds. Ms. Scott concluded that the matching funds
could be provided by another entity, but payment
can not be directly made to the Adult Day Care Program.
Health Director Steve Smith presented the Board with
information concerning the Health Department’s budget, Smart Start,
Environmental Health, and fees.
Mr. Smith noted that 29% of the budget is local dollars with
71% of the budget being funded by different funding sources
(such as State, Federal, grants, etc.). Current estimates reveal that of the local funding $440,752.06, there remains an
estimated $240,193 balance.
Eliminating Smart Start funding
would not only lose revenue but could risk having to repay t
he entire grant of $90,000.
Mandated programs include communicable disease,
environmental health, vital records, and administration staff required to
maintain
records mandated by the state (includes health director
position).
Mr. Smith spoke briefly on the possibility of increasing
fees in environmental health instead of eliminating programs. Current vacancies for the year could recoup
an estimated $25,000 of local funding.
Mr. Smith concluded by stating he would provide the Board
with General Statue information concerning mandated programs associated
with the Health Department.
County Manager Greer noted that the current vacant positions
in Home Health and the King Clinic
contained no county funding.

County Adult Care Homes Community
Advisory Committee which a name was
submitted at the November 18th meeting.

Board, the appointment would be discussed
at the December 16th meeting.
Commissioner Mabe noted that Ms. Charland had consented to
serve on the Committee if appointed.
Chairman McHugh also noted current openings on the Health
Board and the Northwest Piedmont Council of Government.
Finance Director Julia Edwards submitted Budget Amendment
#24, which is necessary to transfer funds due to the budget cuts,
the physician position was not filled and the physician
hours have been reduced; therefore, these funds need to be transfer to
professional services
instead of salaries and wages.

Amendment #24.
Commissioner Mabe moved to approve Budget Amendment
#24. Commissioner Inman seconded and
the motion carried unanimously.
