0 BMK 9 mc,404 0 Mr. Buchanan then took up for consideration the San Lee Recreation and Educational Park project and called upon Mr. Rhyne to explain the needs for road work. Mr. Rhyne indicated that the District Engineer of the Division of Highways, of the Department of Transportation, had reviewed the work to be done to the front parking lot, the drive way, to the bridge, the upper parking and drive, the Ranger drive way, and the drive from S. R. No. 1510 to the Ranger drive way, and had established that the costs would run $19, 030. 00 on a reimbursable basis by the County. Mr. Rhyne advised the Board much of the work could be charged to existing programs, however, a portion of the work would require a monetary appropriation. Commissioner Rhyne moved that the location and description of the work be approved and the Highway authorities be authorized to proceed with the work as outlined in the letter from the District Engineer to the Division Engineer. Commissioner Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote, Commissioners Dotterer, Rhyne and Cooper voted for it and Commissioners Gordon A. Wicker and Franklin D. Wicker voted against it. Mr. Buchanan then reviewed the status of the Community Development Program projects and called upon Mr. Darrell Mullins, to comment on the PWIP Winterization Program at the County Office Building. Mr. Mullins advised the Board that he and Mr. Buchanan had met with the owners of the first floor of the County Office Building and discussed a plan whereby they would install windows similar to those that the County was installing on its floor to provide a harmonious appearance and that they had discussed a plan for installing a central air-conditioning system which would eliminate window units which detract from the appearance of the building. Commissioner Dotterer moved that the Board accept the recommendations of the Architect to install separate heating and cooling systems and to proceed with his plans for new windows without the use of window type heating and cooling units. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Mullins advised the Board that he would be in a position to take bids on the windows at the June 5th meeting. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker moved and Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne seconded it and the Board unan- imously resolved to instruct the architect to take bids on the window units at its June 5th meeting and he be authorized to prepare plans for, the central heating and air-conditioning systems. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker reported to the Board that he had discussed the repairs at the Courthouse with Mr. Mullins and that he understood that it was in order to pay King Roofing & Manufacturing Company the retainage held by the County pending successful completion of the heating and cooling renovation work at the Courthouse. Mr. Mullins confirmed that the work had been satisfactorily completed. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker moved that the Finance Officer be authorized and directed to pay King Roofing & Manufacturing Company the ten per cent retainage held on its contract for repairs at the Courthouse. Comm- issioner Franklin D. Wicker seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker mentioned that in making the repairs at the Courthouse, the King Roofing & Manufacturing Company work crews experienced some difficulties with the roof over the District Courtroom. The Clerk then read a letter from Mr. W. A. Clegg of King Roofing & Manufacturing Company, to the Maintenance Department, concerning the roof over the District Courtroom. The firm recommended that either the building be re-roofed entirely or approximately fifteen relief vents be installed that would allow moisture to escape from the roof insulation. Mr. Brewer's recommendation was that the Board keep this recommendation in mind in setting their budget since either pro- cedure would be expensive.
