The Board discussed funding for non - profit organizations not recommended for funding in the upcoming budget. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to add $1`4,460 (from money no longer allocated to BRAC dues /fees) to the non - profits not recommended for funding this year. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, and Reives Nay: Parks, Smith, and Womack Absent: Knecht The Chairman ruled the motion failed with a tie vote. The Board discussed a revised Fee Schedule for the Parks and Recreation Department. Parks and Recreation Director John Payne stated a $1.00 fee increase was included on most events with no changes recommended for fees for out -of- county teams /individuals to participate. His department is currently conducting an on -line survey in hopes to get feedback from citizens and participating teams (and those that no longer participate). Commissioner Womack stated he would accept the revised Fee Schedule and cut the Parks & Recreation budget to cover cuts not made to out -of- county groups and players. He wants out -of- county players and teams to pay double what in- county participants pay. Commissioner Frazier stated he would like the County to keep the out -of- county participants and not raise fees for them. Commissioner Parks suggested staff get feedback from those teams and see what the impact will be. Commissioners asked Mr. Payne to discuss the Fee Schedule with his Advisory Board at their next meeting and report back with results. No action was taken. At this time the Board took a 10- minute recess. After returning from recess, with all Board members present, except Commissioner Knecht, the meeting resumed. Health Director Terrell Jones discussed the Primary Care program located in the Health Department. He stated a total of 449 individuals have been seen for Primary Care services so far this year. Twenty individuals have been seen for physical exams, pre - employment physicals and /or college physicals. Those served were unemployed or un- insured and charged a flat fee; income is not asked when a patient comes in for service. Mr. Jones stated he felt the current $45.00 base fee should be increased to $60.00 since it hasn't been changed in a few years. It was noted the Primary Care program is not a mandated program but is closely related to some of the mandated programs they offer. No action was taken. 2
