Invocation was given by Marion Smith, Director of Social Services. On motion of Floyd Langley, seconded by Clinton Comer, the Board unanimously approved the minutes of the February 4;meeting. Ed Gavin, County Attorney, reported that the RTC-Reitzel Smith lease contract had been signed since the last Commissioner meeting. Fire Marshal Don Heard presented updated contracts betwwen the County and the volunteer fire departments. The contracts define response districts -.in the county. On motion of Kenyon Davidson, seconded by Richard Petty, the Board unanimously approved the contracts. Mr. Heard reported that petitions for the Sophia and Coleridge areas had been certified as having 35% of the resident freeholder' signatures for establishing fire tax districts. A "resident freeholder" is a property (real estate) -owner whose property lies within the prescribed boundaries and said owner resides on the same property. On motion of Floyd Langley, seconded by Clinton Comer, the Board set May 7, 1985 as the election date for both the Sophia and the Coleridge -Erect areas. Copies of resolutions included by reference. Mr. Heard informed the Board that the Westside annexation area has been certified by the Tax Department as having the necessary signatures by property owners. The next step is to set a public hearing for the proposed annexation. Chairman Frye set the public hearing for 2:30 p.m.,.:April 1, 1985. Mr. Heard presented an annual report showing fire statistics for 1984. He advised the Board that a project is underway to survey all businesses and commercial buildings in order to determine responding fire departments. Neil Allen, Emergency Services Director, reported on a study the Institute of Government is conducting to determine where in the county ambulance service is most needed, cost of service, response time, etc. The study should be completed by June. Chairman Frye mentioned that Randleman has requested an ambulance and is willing to provide space for one. When -the Board gets the results of this study, they will consider Randleman's request. Ogburn Yates, President of the Asheboro -Randolph Chamber of Commerce, came before the Board to request financial assistance from the County ($30,00 over the next three years) in establishing an economic development corporation. This corpora- tion would recruit new industry for Randolph County. Chamber board members Jack Lail and Tom Moose also spoke in support of economic development. Local businesses have pledged $35,000 toward this endeavor, but without a commitment from the County the project will not be feasible. Chairman Frye asked the county attorney and manager to study the legality of funding a corporation of this nature and to report their findings at the April Commissioners meeting. On -motion of Richard Petty, seconded by Clinton Comer, the Board unanimously .adopted a personnel ordinance, including, the performance appraisal policy (Appendix C). (Appendix A and Appendix B -were approved at the September 10, 1984 meeting and went into effect October 1, 1984.) The personnel ordinance was written by personnel consultant Hal Scott, reviewed by Office of State Personnel (and revised according to their recommendations), and reviewed by department heads. A copy of the personnel ordinance is on file in the Randolph County Ordinance Book and in every department.
