DOK D AfS 4k L commissioner Wicker thanked the representatives from Cherokee Sanford Group, Inc. for their presentation and requested that they report to the Board after they have presented their proposal to the Environmental Affairs Board. The Board then observed a short recess. Following the recess, the Board reconvened with all members present, except Commissioner Matthews. Mr. Don McLaughlin, Parks and Recreation Director, was recognized and presented an agreement from the Parks and Recreation Commission on the Kiwanis Family Park. Attorney Dick Hoyle indicated that the agreement was legally in order. Commissioner Cox moved to adopt the agreement between the County of Lee and the Kiwanis Club of Sanford, Inc. for the Kiwanis Family Park after receiving a signed copy of this agreement from the Kiwanis Club. A copy of the agreement is attached to these minutes, and by this reference, made a part thereof. Commissioner Stafford seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Donn Gunderson, Director of Social Services, was recognized and presented a request for additional staff, having already been before the Finance Committee. The first request was to expand the day care position from part-time, 5/8 time position, to fulltime, using existing JOBS funds within their budget. The second request was to hire a temporary fulltime Income Maintenance Caseworker II position for three to six months to handle the applications and reviews for the Children's Medicaid Program. The cost for three months to the County would be $2,573.00, and for six months, $5,145.00. The Federal government would pay the remainder. The Children's Medicaid Program's workload has increased 25% to 30% in the past year, due mainly to the economy and to the creation of new programs. Commissioner Cox suggested studying the matter first before considering the request. Mr. Wicker stated that the Finance Committee reviewed this matter considerably and the Committee realized the need for the requests. Mr. Dossenbach stated that the Social Services Board suggested that the requests be sent to the Finance Committee. Commissioner Dossenbach moved to approve the requests and that the temporary position be approved for six months. Commissioner Stafford seconded the motion, stipulating that the six-month period be effective beginning December 1, 1990, and ending May 31, 1991. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: None 4
