® ~I~, 13 96 3:00 P.M. Commissioner Stafford reported that he had spoken with Mr. Kelly about a meeting concerning the Board of Equalization and Review. The Board decided to meet with Mr. Kelly on May 2nd after the Special Meeting. The County Manager reported on a Grant Application for a Non-Profit Organization in Lee County known as the Family Violence and Rape Crisis Center. They applied for a Grant through the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety with some assistance from Mr. Joyce. In the past this has been done through the Council on the Status of Women. This State Agency asked that they petition the County Commissioners to be the sponsoring organization for this coming year. It is a $15,000 grant which basically provides support counseling type of services for victims of violence such as rape and other types of violent action. The matching money comes from the United Way so they are not asking the County for any funds. Commissioner Matthews moved to approve the Grant Application. Commissioner Stafford 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. Commissioner Matthews advised of a request from the Fire Departments to present their Budget on June 7th rather than hold individual public hearings since they have had such a poor turnout. Commissioner Dossenbach advised that they should hold the hearings in the community and submit their report to the County Manager. The people in the community are the ones to vote on it because they are the ones that authorize the tax. The County Manager informed the Board of a letter he received today informing the Commissioners that the Golden Poultry CDBG grant is officially closed. The County Manager called attention to the report from Inspections and Planning. The Board discussed the building activities for the first quarter of 1990 and the annual report of those activities for the calendar year ending December 31st.

Mr. Barefoot will be recommending a fee increase to the Board for the next fiscal year. The County Manager would like for Mr. Barefoot to meet with the Finance Committee at a future date to study this. Commissioner Dossenbach moved that the Board go into executive session to discuss land acquisition. Commissioner Cox seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: 8
