010 KNUX 17 PacE 531 Aye: Adams, Gamer, Hincks, Matthews, Paschal, Reives and Sauls Nay: None The Chainnan ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered the replacement of eleven county vehicles. Public Works Director Kenny Cole told the Board that a Vehicle Replacement Policy had been approved by the Board of Commissioners in August, 1998. At that time sixteen vehicles were reported as needing to be replaced. No action was taken at that time on the replacement of those vehicles. Mr. Cole told the Board he had completed a survey of county vehicles that needed to be replaced and was recommending that six vehicles, in addition to the five approved for replacement in the 1998-99 budget, be purchased. The eleven vehicles requested for replacement will cost 5180,180, with 5102,382 currently budgeted. A balance of 577,726 will be needed to cover the cost of the six additional vehicles. After much discussion, Commissioner Gamer moved to approve the purchase of eleven vehicles at a total cost of $180,180. Commissioner Sauls seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Garner, Hincks, Matthews and Sauls Nay: Paschal and Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a five to two vote. Chairman Hincks made a motion that the Lee County Board of Commissioners and the Lee County Board of Education meet quarterly at a mutually convenient time and place to discuss plans, problems, and other issues that will require action by both Boards. Commissioner Paschal seconded the motion. Chaimian Hincks told the Board that Commissioner Adams had been asked to serve as the Board of Education representative for the Board of Commissioners. He will discuss problems and convey requests made by the Commissioners to the Board of Education, work with them, and follow-up to see that the Commissioners are supplied information. After further discussion, Commissioner Gamer amended the motion for Chairman Hincks and the Chainnan of the Board of Education to meet and decide if and when a meeting of the two Boards would be appropriate and give the Commissioners at least two to three weeks notice so they can place it on the agenda. Commissioner Reives seconded the amended motion. After further discussion, Chairman Hincks asked Commissioner Gamer to revise his amended motion to state that he would meet with the Chairman of the Board of Education before the year is up to determine the value of having a joint meeting and report back with the Commissioners, and advise Commissioner Adams so he can set up a meeting if it is deemed advisable. Commissioner Garner agreed to the revisions of the amended motion. Commissioner Reives seconded the revisions to the amended motion and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Garner, Hincks, Matthews, Paschal, Reives and Sauls Nay: None 3
