9 FAP¢23.`c "(b) Travel by personal car, seventeen cents 17) per mile;", and that this amendment be effective from and after its adoption. Commissioner John E. Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. The Board next considered whether or not changes should be made in the personnel ordinance with respect to travel by members of the Social Services Department or other employees governed by the State Competitive Service System. It appears that the Personnel resolution, as adopted, states that the travel provisions d_o not apply to employees governed by the State Competitive Service System; however, the Finance Officer has required such employees to furnish travel vouchers. After discussion and review, the Board concluded that it would not amend the Personnel resolution and authorize the Finance Officer in the future to see that with respect to travel that employees covered by the rules of the State Competitive Service System comply with such rules only. This action was taken upon motion of Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker, seconded by Commissioner John E. Dotterer, which motion was unani- mously adopted upon a vote. The Board next considered Article 3, Section 7, of the Personnel Resolution dealing with maximum accumulation of leave. After discussion of the changes in accumulation of leave by the State Personnel policy, it was decided to amend the County policy to correspond to the State's policy for accumulation of leave. Accordingly, Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker moved that Article 3, Section 7, be deleted and in lieu thereof, the following provision be inserted: Effective calendar year 1978, annual leave may be accumulated without any applicable maximum until December 31 of each calendar year. However, if the employee separates from service, payment for accumulated annual leave shall not exceed 240 hours. On December 31 any employee with more than 240 hours of accumulated leave shall have the excess accu- mulation cancelled so that only 240 hours are carried for- ward to January 1 of the next calendar year. The Tax Supervisor reported that the tax receipts had been prepared and that the total amounts to $4, 152,201. 39. Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved that an order directing the Tax Collector to collect the taxes charged in the tax records and receipts be adopted. A copy of the order is attached to the minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. The change order for the sidewalk construction at the Library site was presented to the Board and was approved and ordered executed upon motion of Commissioner John E. Dotterer, which motion was signed by Commissioner Frank- lin D. Wicker and upon a vote, Messrs. Dotterer, Rhyne, Franklin D. Wicker, Gordon A. Wicker and Cooper voted for it and no one voted against it. Mrs. Sharon Hunter Cox (Mrs. Wilson Cox) of Broadway, North Carolina, was appointed to the Lee County Library Board, to fill the unexpired term of-Mrs. Betty Daly who resigned due to reasons of health, upon motion of Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne, seconded by Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker, which motion was unanimously adopted. Mrs. Cox's term will expire December 31, 1981. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker brought up for consideration, the sale of the Jonesboro School property, but no formal action was taken. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker inquired about the electrical work being done in the County Office building and was advised that the owner was required to supply electrical service to the air-conditioning unit and that Wilkins Corporation had employed one electric company to do their work and the County had employed another organization to do their work.
