Commissioner Dossenbach reported that the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners has negotiated a contract for the selection of AT&T as the preferred long distance carrier in North Carolina. AT&T and ITT has agreed to pay counties a minimum of 14% commissions on all calls that would come from a pay phone within that County. Once the national volume of monthly charges goes to five million per month, the commission rate goes to 20% of all calls made. North Carolina is the second state to do this, the first was Ohio. Ohio has a monthly commission among all of its counties of $20,000. The Association is asking counties to fill out a survey form. Additional information regarding how to actually sign up for the program will be sent within a couple of weeks. Commissioner Dossenbach moved to authorize the County Manager to fill out the survey and send it back to the State Association.
