a BOOK 15 Pact 879 003 4 The Board considered matching funds for a grant application for the North Carolina Information Highway. Commissioner Dossenbach told the Board several representatives from Lee County went to Guilford Technical Institute several days ago and looked at a system currently in place there. He feels that due now to the uncertainty to funding and the cost of line charges, which would cost the county $48,000.00 a year ($4,000 a month), it would be best to take no action on this matter at this time. After further discussion, no action was taken on the matter. The Board considered a bid for new gym flooring for W. B. Wicker School. Recreation Director Bob Dowless told the Board he was recommending Sport court flooring for the Wicker Gymnasium. He told the Board the competitive sports performance, multi-purpose use and low life cycle cost were major factors in the selection of this floor. This flooring is the only synthetic approved by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the worldwide governing body of basketball. The following bid was received: Sport Court, Inc. $ 31,472.00 Alternate Bid $ 28,472.00 After further discussion Commissioner Reives moved to approve the low bid of $28,472.00 from Sport Court, Inc. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dossenbach, Garner, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None The Chairperson ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a IV-D contract with Love and Love Attorneys. Social Services Director Diane Lamb recommended to the Board the County hire a paralegal to handle Child Support paperwork for County Attorney K. R. Hoyle and retain his services as the court attorney for these cases. Currently the Department of Social Services has a contract with Love & Love Attorneys, which will expire the end of June, 1995. A six-month notice must be given to terminate the contract. Ms. Lamb told the Board the State Office will pay up to $90.00 per hour for lawyer or paralegal fees and these funds could be put back into the County instead of going to an outside attorney. After some discussion commissioner Dossenbach moved to approve terminating the Child Support contract with Love and Love Attorneys and hire a paralegal to handle Child Support paperwork for the County Attorney K.R. Hoyle and retain his services as the court attorney for these cases. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dossenbach, Garner, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None 3
