RECOGNITION OF
EMPLOYEES AT
SHERIFF'S OFFICE
JESSE GENTRY
COUNTY OF HARNETT
BY: s/ Jesse Alphin
Chairman
Chairman Alphin turned the meeting over to M. H. Brock, County Manager, and
to Sheriff Lewis Rosser to recognize three officers with the Sheriff's department
for their outstanding services to the County. M. H. Brock explained to the
Board members that the Sheriff's office has gone to great efforts recently to
cleanup their cars, equipment, conserve gasoline, and perform their duties in
the most efficient manner possible. Mr. Brock said that the County would like to
take this opportunity to commend two officers for their outstanding service to
the Sheriff's Office and one officer for an award he received on the State level.
Mr. Brock recognized Jesse Gentry, a Detective with the Harnett County
Sheriff's Department, who has been employed with the County only four months
and has maintained the highest arrest rate. Over the past 90 days, agent
Gentry has made 17 arrests, with an indictment rate of 27; of which, 16 were
directed toward property crime. The Board and Sheriff Rosser commended Detective
Gentry on his outstanding record.
DAVID 0. WHITTENTON Mr. Brock then recognized David 0. Whittenton who has proven to be extremely
beneficial working with the Sheriff's Department both in his performance of his
duties as well as his productivity. Deputy Whittenton's work has been noticed
by several citizens throughout the County who have commented to the Board on
the cleaniness of his vehicle, equipment, and uniform; the organized manner in
which he keeps his equipment stored in his vehicle; and his courtesy in dealing
with the public. During the month of August, Deputy Whittenton delivered 78
warrants which was the highest amount delivered by any one deputy. The Board
and the Sheriff commended David for his outstanding services and his dedication
to his job.

M. H. Brock, County Manager, informed the -Board that the County had been
studying the feasibility of the County transferring the Child Support Enforcement
Unit (IV -D) to the State: Mr. Brock stated that if notified before September
30, 1983, the State will assume responsibility for the IV -D program the following
July 1, 1984. He continued to explain that when the State administers the pro -
gram, the County no longer receives "Incentive" money but continues to receive
the "County Share of AFDC" which is paid into the unit by the responsible parent.
It is probable that the State will more fully staff the program, and the county's
share of AFDC returns will increase considerably at no cost to the county_ Pat
Cameron was then recognized by the Board for comments. Pat informed the Board
that the IV-D program had been profitable to the County in the past, but with the
decline in revenue from the federal government, the program may not continue to
balance but in the future years. Also there is a backlog of cases that need to
be handled and it appears that the State might provide additional manpower which
would be beneficial to the County. Pat informed the Board that he had contacted
the State and if the Board should deeide today that they would like to transfer
this program to the State and then should change their minds, the Board would
able to rescind this action any time prior to July 1, 1984. Following a
discussion of this matter, Commissioner Shaw made a motion that the Child Support
Enforcement (IV-D) Unit in Harnett- County be transferred to the State; .Commis-
sioner Stewart seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Margaret.Randall, Harnett' County Librarian, informed tha Board that the formula.
for State. Aid has been changed and Harnett County will receive' an. additional
$48,215. Mrs. Randall presented a budget amendment to the Board for their
consideration concerning the distribution of the State Aid funds in her budget.
Mrs. Randall had only appropriated $4,000 for the construction of the new
library:.-Following a lengthy discussion of this amendment, Commissioner Broc
made a motion -that $25,000 of this $48,215 be put into the fund for the
construction of the new library and that the remaining amount be used as
Mrs. Randall and the Library.Board felt would be most beneficial toward the
operation of the library, Commissioner Shaw seconded the motion and it carried.
