Public Works

management program for the 92-93 budget year. This program addressed waste
reduction strategy (including a proposed ordinance concerning separation of yard
waste and corrugated cardboard), landfill management strategy, tipping fees, and
landfill construction and financing schedules.
Mr. McArthur stated that he would need decisions from the Board concerning
the ordinance and which tipping fee plan to use. He said that his proposed
budget is based on a $20 tipping fee, shorter hours and higher fees at the
dumpsters, and vertical expansion at the landfill.
The Board discussed concerns from Seagrove area residents about the removal
of the Seagrove dumpster site.

Request for Telephone System Study
Alice Dawson, Assistant to the County Manager, presented a proposal from
Jim Bryan of Telecom Development Associates to complete a telephone system
feasibility, acquisition and implementation project for the County. She stated
that Mr. Bryan has performed similar services for several other counties and
that she has received excellent references for him. Phase One (feasibility) of
the study would cost $7,499; Phase Two (acquisition) would cost $2,614 for
upgrade only or $6,321 for a new system; Phase Three (implementation) would cost
$4,842 for upgrade only or $7,480 for a new system. The proposal is designed so
that each phase can be contracted individually. The maximum amount would be
$21,300. Ms. Dawson said that funds to cover these expenses are available in
the Administration budget.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board authorized a purchase to
be encumbered for $21,300 and authorized a contract with Telecom Development
