0 BOOK 11 538 Sheriff James Holt appeared before the Board and stated that he was anxious to go out for bids to purchase new vehicles, but a decision had to be made as to whether to purchase the vehicles under State Contract or by separate local bids. The Sheriff stated that he was willing to accept the vehicles purchased under the State Contract and had the Board followed that procedure, substantial savings could have been made on the vehicles purchased last year. Commissioner John R. Dossenbach, Jr., moved that the County purchase the Sheriff's vehicles under the State Contract. Commissioner John E. Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. The County Manager reported that in response to a request for bids on the upgraded computer system, the County had received a bid from Municipal Leasing Corporation in the amount of $229, 673. 16, for the lease/purchase of an upgraded computer system. The County Manager recommended acceptance of the bid and advised the Board that if it were accepted, the new system should be delivered within a month and the new system would include an expansion of the computer users to allow the County to begin developing software for use by the Sheriff's Department. Commissioner John E. Dotterer moved that the low bid be accepted and the Chairman be authorized to sign the necessary documents for the lease/purchase of the system. Commissioner John 1Z. Dossenbach, Jr., seconded the motion and upon a vote, Commissioners Almond, Dossenbach, Dotterer and Matthews voted for the motion and Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker voted against it. The Chairman ruled the motion was adopted by a majority vote. The County Attorney then presented a resolution and explained the provisions of N. C. G. S. 1-42. 9, which provides for the extinguishment of ancient mineral claims and the request that oil, gas and mineral interests be listed for taxation. The resolution was presented, a copy of which is attached hereto and by this reference made a part of these minutes, which would make the provisions of N. G. G. S. 1-42. 9 active in Lee County and would provide for the publication of a notice to that effect. Commissioner John R. Dossenbach, Jr. moved the adoption of the resolution. Commissioner John E. Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Adcock and Associates presented a statement for their services in negotiating for purchase of land adjoining the Landfill.. The County Attorney explained that the seller desired to close the transaction after the first of next year. Commissioner John E. Dotterer moved that the invoice presented by Adcock and Associates be approved and that it be authorized for payment when the trans- action is closed. Commissioner Jerry M. Almond seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted.
