9000 J mur 5810 Following this, the Board, upon motion of Commissioner Rhyne, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, recessed the meeting for ten minutes. Follow- ing the recess, the meeting reconvened with Chairman Harmon presiding. Mr. Elwin Buchanan, Grants Director, appeared before the Board and reviewed his monthly report. Mr. Buchanan advised the Board that Outdoor Recreation had advised him that the dam at San Lee Park would be eligible for grant funds and Mr. Buchanan advised the Board he would make application for a grant to secure funds to make repairs to the dam. Mr. Buchanan next presented Change Order No. 2 to the contract with Chicago Bridge & Iron Company to delete the sum of $3, 000. 00 from the contract since this firm would not be doing the radiographic tests on the welds. Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved that the Chairman be authorized and directed to execute said Change Order No. 2 for and on behalf of the County. Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Buchanan then presented Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Williams & Works, Inc. to add $3, 000. 00 to the Engineers contract to enable them to retain the services of an independent testing facility to direct radiographic tests on the welds at the tank on the GKN- Colon Water Line. Commissioner Rhyne moved that the Change Order be amended to reflect that the Engineers contract was increased by the amount necessary to employ the independent testing agency not to exceed $3, 000. 00, and with such amendment that the Chairman be authorized and directed to sign the Change Order for and on behalf of the County. Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Buchanan requested that amendments be made to the Capital Project Fund- GKN- Colon- Osgood Water Lines, to reflect the Change Orders. Mr. Buchanan reported that the Economic Development Administration had approved such transfers by telephone on September 28, 1979. Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved that said Capital Project Fund be amended by transferring $3, 000. 00 from Line Item 62-201-73, entitled "Construction and Project Improvements", to Line Item 62-201-34, to Line Item 62-201-34, entitled "Construction Inspection and Audit". Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Buchanan then reviewed the status of other projects being super- vised by his office. The Chairman read a letter from the Parks and Recreation Comm- ission advising the Board that it wished to return control of the New Hope School property to the Board of Commissioners. This matter was discussed at length but no formal action taken. Commissioner Rhyne noted that a substantial savings had been made in the consumption of gas by County employees and that the County employees should be commended for their efforts. Commissioner Rhyne read to the Board a letter concerning project to clean up litter and the observation of a public awareness week and reported that he had asked the Chamber of Commerce to arrange a suitable program. Mrs. Bea Fields presented requests for amendment to the budget which were considered by the Board. Upon motion of Commissioner Jack D.
