Several documents were provided outlining various options that might be <br />considered. Three options were presented as follows: <br />Option 1: Board of County Commissioners assumes powers and duties of local boards <br />(Health and Social Services). Agencies stay the same. <br />Option 2: Board of County Commissioners creates a consolidated human services <br />agency (CHSA). <br />Option 3: Board of County Commissioners creates a CHSA. Board of County <br />Commissioners assumes powers and duties of the CHS board. <br />Mr. Crumpton was asked to get more information from the Guilford County Manager who went through <br />this change while he was County Manager in Brunswick County. <br />Revolving Loan Proqram Policy — A "draft" policy, with comments from SAGA, was presented, <br />along a "draft" policy presented to the Board of Commissioners in February 2015. It was suggested <br />that maybe the loan process could be open to small type farmers. Economic Development Director <br />Bob Joyce stated he has 2 individuals ready to apply for a loan once the revised policy and loan <br />application is approved. It was noted the CCCC Small Business Center will assist with the application <br />process. <br />
