the YVEDDI Transportation Office and garage area

Need
for office space for YVEDDI
·
County
donated land for the 30% in-kind match
·
Currently,
YVEDDI has 3 bids being evaluated in Raleigh
·
Three
bids propose a 16ft structure
·
One
bid proposing a 12ft structure will be taken to Raleigh this month
·
Should
know by the end of January or the first of February the exact amount available
for the proposed project
·
Joint
project between YVEDDI and Stokes County
·
Proposed
project will include office space for YVEDDI
·
Proposed
project will include office space, parts space, and 3 bays for the County
garage

building would allow additional bays to be added at a later date
·
Proposed
project is bid as a metal building

Funding
has been allocated in the YVEDDI budget to hire a part time employee to help
maintain the YVEDDI vehicles – to change oil, tires, minor repairs, etc. –
Details have not been worked out as to who will hire the employee, YVEDDI or
Stokes County
·
Building
to be constructed on the land transferred from Stokes County to YVEDDI which

Chairman
Inman questioned Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor Elwood Mabe if the proposed 3
bay building would be adequate for Stokes County and provide enough bay area to
include servicing vehicles for YVEDDI.
Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor Mabe noted that with the number of YVEDDI
vehicles, one bay would be constantly occupied by YVEDDI. Currently, the County has the capability of
serving three county vehicles at the present location. The proposed three bay facility would be
compatible with what the County currently has. Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor
Mabe also noted that the proposed 12 ft structure would not be adequate for
vans and ambulances.

Handicap Ramps – Old Courthouse
Interim
Manager Darlene Bullins informed the Board that the County had received a call
from Mayor Jane Charleville (Town of Danbury) regarding the proposed project
for replacement of the handicap ramps at the Old Courthouse located in the Town
of Danbury.
Mayor
Charleville expressed concerns with the type of railings being considered and
the parking spaces that would be lost.
Immediately after receiving the call, Support Service Supervisor Danny
Stovall and Code Enforcement Officer Jimmy Kallam presented and discussed the
proposed project with Mayor Charleville.
Mayor
Charleville noted to the Interim Manager an alternative plan of removing a
portion of the side yard and replacing with
similar concrete ramp instead of the metal ramp.
This
would eliminate the loss of the parking spaces.
Support
Services Supervisor Stovall presented pictures of black railings, which
would blend in better with the historic
building and pictures of section of the side yard, which was suggested as
alternative. A electrical power pole
would have to be relocated if the side yard was considered which could be
expensive.
Mr.
Stovall also presented an estimated additional cost of $5000 to $6000 to
anodize the railings and noted that another
possible
option would be to powder coat with heat-treated powder coated paint-estimate
would not available until the Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
Mr.
Stovall confirmed that the County would have to obtain a zoning permit from the
Town of Danbury and a building permit from the County.
Commissioner
Lankford and Support Services Supervisor Stovall had both spoken to Mayor
Charleville today and felt that by changing the railings on the proposed
project, it could possibly work.
The
Board discussed the possible options submitted by Mr. Stovall, the $14,050
previously allocated by the Board at the December 28th meeting for
the proposed project, loss of parking spaces to be dealt with at a later time,
and ADA Compliance issues.
Public
Works Director Jay Kinney noted the possibility of removing part of the yard on
the other side of the Old Courthouse for parking spaces as a long range plan.
Chairman
Inman directed Mr. Stovall to contact the Town of Danbury to request a zoning
permit from the Town, obtain cost quotes for the anodized railings and powder
coating with heat-treated powder coated paint, try to see if another company
already has the anodized or powder coated painted railings, and for the Interim
Manager to communicate with Mayor Charleville regarding the plans for the
proposed project.
Chairman
Inman requested Mr. Stovall to obtain quotes for the Board as soon as possible.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT – GOVERNING
BODY -ACTION AGENDA
2007 Scattered Site Housing
Rehabilitation Block Grant – Bid Proposal
Chairman
Inman presented the following 2007 Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Block
Grant proposals that were presented and discussed at the December 28th
meeting:
·
Benchmark
CMR – not to exceed cost of $49,000
·
Hobbs,
Upchurch, & Associates – not to exceed cost of $50,000
Commissioner
Lankford moved to approve the Benchmark CMR as the third party Administrator
for the 2007 Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Block Grant.
The
motion was unanimous.
Mr.
Gary Wilson informed the Board of the recent award of $400,000 Single Family Rehabilitation
Grant to Stokes County. Mr. Wilson
spoke briefly to the Board regarding the Selection Committee required for the
2007 Scattered Site Housing
Rehabilitation
Block Grant.
Interim
County Manager Darlene Bullins noted that information for the Selection
Committee would be presented at the January 22nd meeting.
Health Department Salary Request
Commissioner
Carroll presented information from Health Director Don Moore who requested a
10% increase above the existing starting salary of $36,794 for a registered
nurse who has 22 years of experience which includes emergency room
nursing/operating room nursing, home health nursing experience, and a graduate
degree in health care administration.
Commissioner
Carroll noted the need for a structured salary schedule, which would base a
salary on experience and education. A
structured salary schedule would eliminate a request of this type to be brought
to the Board, without a structure salary schedule a department head has no
choice but to come to the Board.
Commissioner
Carroll noted in order to hire and retain nurses and medical personnel, the
County will have to do more than starting an individual out at the starting
salary regardless of years of experience.
In the Stokes County School
system, a master’s degree alone above the required level of a bachelor degree,
without any experience would justify a 10% increase.
Commissioner
Carroll noted that the current county salary does not even compete with the
county’s school salary for
nurses.
Commissioner
Carroll moved to approve the request from the Health Director regarding this
particular person effective with the beginning of the next pay period.
The
Board discussed the public health nursing request from Director Moore,
available funding, county’s share of this position, the critical need area of
this position, and the need for the structured salary schedule.
Vice
Chairman Walker noted the need for the Health Director to be present for the
discussion.
Chairman
Inman noted a committee that was created at the Board Retreat on Saturday,
January 6, 2007. The committee is
scheduled to meet the week of January 15th.
The
motion failed 2-3 with Chairman Inman, Vice Chairman Walker, and Commissioner
Lankford voting against the motion.
The
Board discussed bringing this item back for further discussion.
The
Board discussed a date for continuation for the Board Retreat.
The
Board unanimously agreed to schedule the continuation for the Board
Retreat/Planning Session for Saturday, January 20, 2007 at 10:00 am.
There being no further business to come before
the Board, Chairman Inman entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Vice Chairman Walker moved to adjourn the
meeting.
The motion was unanimous.
