BOOK V FJGE 590 Commissioner wicker was asked where things stood with the Health Department Budget and the proposed city contribution to the Animal Control Program. Commissioner Wicker stated that he was making progress and would have an answer by the next meeting. Chairman Cox then asked for a report from Commissioner Dossenbach concerning the Old Hospital Parking Lot. Commissioner Dossenbach presented the Board members with map copies of the lots in question and reported that we had a bid of $8,000 for paving each lot. The Board was informed that Susan Suggs from the N. C. Division of Community Planning had offered to study the parking lot situation and make a recom- mendation. It was mentioned that the lot next to Cameron Body Shop belongs to Lee County but is being used by Cameron Body Shop for their employee parking and for parking of wrecked vehicles. The pavement in that area has deteriorated greatly. After a general discussion Commissioner Dossenbach made a motion to put off any paving until a recommendation is received from Susan Suggs and to direct the County Manager to immediately direct a letter to Cameron Body Shop requesting that they refrain from parking on the lot. Commissioner Wicker seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: AYE: Dossenbach, Matthews, Stafford, Wicker, and Cox NAY: None The Chairman ruled that the resolution had been unani- mously adopted. Commissioner Wicker mentioned to the Board that he had noticed that the lights in the old hospital building appear to be on all the time, even at night and on weekends. He felt that someone should be responsible for seeing that the lights are turned off when not in use. The other Board Members were in agreement and County Manager Fields was instructed to check into the matter and see that it is corrected. Commissioner Wicker also noted that the same situation seems to be occurring at the Senior High School. Chairman Cox asked the County Manager to check with school authorities on that as well. Commissioner Dossenbach informed the Board that he would soon be attending his first meeting of the Sanford- Lee County Airport Commission and that he would be asking for partial compensation from them on our Grants Administrator's salary. Chairman Cox recognized the presence of Sharon Cheek, Lee County Supervisor for Johnston-Lee Community Action in the audience and advised her that the Board was still working
