16? aoo~ 13 (nuL THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, hat' fhe fee my Board of Commissioners request that the N.C. Association of County Commissioners support the introduction of legislation which permits the local Board of Health to require restaurant owners to pay for 50% of all required inspections and 100% of all requested re-inspections. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Legislators, the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, and all counties be called upon to work harmoniously together to achieve this end. Commissioner Cox seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Matthews, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion carried unanimously. The Board then entered a Budget Work Session and discussed at length the proposed Budget for Lee County for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991. The Board then observed a short recess. Following the recess, the Board convened with all members present. The Board then discussed the County's membership in the Triangle J Council of Governments.

However, Mr. Barker, Executive Director of Triangle J COG has requested in a telephone conversation on June 1, 1990 that we pay them $15,000.00 for servicing the Aging Program. If you apply that to the $19,682.00 that total comes to $34,682.00 which is 14.1%. The only other County in the State that is currently not a member of a COG is Moore County. They pay $21,000.00 and receive $185,800.00 which is 11.3%. Mr. Cowan advised that there was some talk that if Lee County does not become a member of the COG this current year, the COG would 3
