0 <br />aOOK 11 PACE 344 <br />Mr. Donn R. Gunderson, Director of Social Services, pre- <br />sented to the Board, a proposal whereby for a small matching fund, the County <br />could acquire a grant to conduct a training program for Chore Workers. Comm- <br />issioner Jerry M. Almond moved that the County participate in said program <br />and that the County Manager be authorized and directed to prepare a Budget <br />Amendment to submit to the Board to accomplish such purpose. Commiss- <br />ioner John E. Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously <br />adopted. <br />Mr. Elwin Buchanan, Grants Director, appeared before the <br />Board and advised the Board that there was prospect of a new industry <br />locating in the County and he anticipated presenting a request to the Board in <br />the near future for its participation in sewer and water line extensions to <br />said industrial site. Mr. Buchanan reported that he had talked with officials <br />at EDA and had been advised to submit the County's request for improvements <br />to the Floyd Knight School under two different programs. Commissioner John <br />R. Dossenbach, Jr. , moved that Mr. Buchanan be authorized to update the <br />grant applications and submit them under the federal grant programs where <br />funds might be available. Commissioner John E. Dotterer seconded the <br />motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. <br />Commissioner John R. Dossenbach, Jr., brought up for <br />consideration, the establishment of a Personnel Policy with respect to <br />days when County offices are closed because snow has made it impossible <br />for employees to come to work. By consensus, the matter was referred to <br />the Personnel Committee for its recommendations. <br />The County Manager advised the Board that the Revenue <br />Program and continued participation in it would be contingent upon all public <br />buildings being adapted so that they were easily accessible to handicapped <br />persons. <br />Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker mentioned that the Mental <br />Health Director was ill and confined to the hospital and it was directed that <br />a card be sent to him on behalf of the Board. <br />There being no further business to come before the session, <br />it was adjourned sine die. <br />CHAIRMAN <br />CLER <br />
