Clark, Tax Supervisor, appeared before the Board and presented a copy of the certificate that persons claiming the right to tax relief as an elderly or permanently disabled person would be called upon to execute. Mr. Clark advised the Board that the law had been changed to authorize the Board to grant authority to the Tax Supervisor to extend time for listing inventories. Commissioner John E. Dotterer moved that the Board grant to the Tax Supervisor such discretionary authority. Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Orton J. Cameron, on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Lee County Hospital, appeared before the Board, and presented a request for approval of an amendment to the Charter of the Lee County Hospital, Inc. Comm- issioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED that the Board approves amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Lee County Hospital, Inc., to provide for changing the last sentence in paragraph six to read as follows: All members of the Board of Trustees shall be citizens and residents of Lee County, and at least eighteen (18) years of age, and shall be eligible to succeed themselves one time after serving a full term. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker.: In discussion, Commissioner John E. Dotterer spoke against the resolution and Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker spoke in favor of the resolution. These discussions lead to the suggestion that the membership of the Board should be increased in order that the necessary provision requiring that a Commissioner be added to the Board would not work to decrease the representative nature of the Board. Upon a vote thereon five votes were cast in favor of the motion and no votes against it. The Chairman declared the motion carried. Commissioner C•lyd'e J. Rhyne then moved that the Board of Commissioners recommend to the Board of Trustees of the Lee County Hospital that the membership of the Board of Trustees be increased to ten. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Chairman William H. Cooper reported that he had designated Mr. James Coates to be his appointee to the Area Planning Advisory Committee for the Title XX Program. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker moved the action of the Chairman in making such appointment be approved and Commissioner Rhyne seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. James Coates, Director of the Department of Social Services and Dr. Mary Margaret McLeod, appeared before the Board on behalf of the Juvenile Delinquency Committee and gave a report on the activities and recommendations of that Committee. Commissioner John E. Dotterer moved that the Board approve and endorse the activities of its Juvenile Delinquency Committee and agree to appoint a Youth Services Bureau and requested the Committee to formulate and present recommendations for such a Bureau, to be presented to the Board at its first meeting in January. The motion was duly seconded and upon a vote was unanimously adopted. The letter from Mr. Joseph W.
