Director's Report

April 11, 2005

 

1.  The request for the HLC's Operational Budget for FY 2006 has been submitted to the County Budget Department.  Final action by the Board of County Commissioners will occur in May, and I will keep you advised as to the progress.

2.  I anticipate that the issue of the County's advancing funding to assist with the purchase of Grace A.M.E. Zion Church will occur at the BOCC's April 19th meeting.  I will keep you advised as to the progress.

3.  A request for capital funding was submitted to the Citizens Capital Budget Advisory Commission in March.  Discussions are on-going.

4.  Staff has been meeting with Dean Gates about the marketing of the Rozzell property.  The consensus was that the property should be divided into two parcels and offered for sale on an "as is" basis.  Dean Gates has suggested asking prices, and I would be happy to discuss these in executive session.

5.  Staff has been supplying materials to the auctioneers for the Sidney and Ethel Grier House.  The auction is scheduled for May 21st.

6.  All drawings have been completed for the restoration of the Grier-Rea House, and the job should be put out to bid in the near future.

7.  Staff has been meeting with officials of Matthews to discuss various preservation projects.  These include:  the Bost House, the Clark House, and the former Agricultural Building for the Matthews School.

 

Respectfully submitted,
