Brock, County Manager, reported to the Board that the date of the surplus sale was originally planned for October 26, 1985, but there was a conflict with this date. Commissioner Brock made a motion that the resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners on October 7, 1985, setting the date of the sale as October 26, 1985, be amended authorizing the County Manager to hold the sale on the County's surplus property on November 2, 1985, at 10:00 a.m.; Commissioner Collins seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote. Rodney Tart, Director of the County's Public Utilities Department, appeared before the Board and requested authorization for Metro to purchase a five acre tract of land owned by the Wombles for $17,000. He explained that this land is located beside the Metro Plant and would serve as a buffer for the plant and is also needed for any future development of this facility. The current System is presently utilizing all its space; and with the continued development of the County's water and sewer system, there may be a need in the future to expand its operations in order to provide the required services. Mr. Tart also stated that there is a smaller tract in front of the Plant which the Metro Board is also interested in buying which would serve as a buffer. Charlie Sykes, Chairman of the Metro Board, and Frank Myatt, Member of the Metro Board, appeared before the Commissioners and reiterated the need to purchase this property. They informed the Commissioners that the Metro Board has acted in favor of this acquisition of land; and stated that it is their request that the Commissioners allow them to purchase this property with Metro funds. Following a discussion, Commissioner Brock made a motion that Mr. Tart and the County Manager be allowed to execute a sixty day option with the developers for the acquisition of both tracts of land; Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote. Margaret Randall, appeared before the Board and stated that at the Commissioners meeting of September 16, 1985, she requested authority from the Board to advertise for bids for the purchase of a new bookmobile. At that meeting, it was the decision of the Board to table any action until they had an opportunity to receive input from the citizens of the County concerning this purchase. Following Ms. Randall's comments, the Board opened the meeting for input from those present concerning this matter. Several persons appeared before the Board speaking in support of the purchase of a new bookmobile. Each of the Commissioners reported on the number of calls they had received from the citizens concerning this issue and the majority of the citizens who contacted them were in favor of purchasing a new vehicle. Also a petition had been circulated and one -to -two hundred persons had signed the document in support of this purchase. Following a discussion, Commissioner Collins made a motion that the Library Board be allowed to advertise and accept bids for a new bookmobile, but not commit itself to buy the vehicle; and report the results of the bid opening back to the Commissioners; Commis- sioner Brock seconded the motion and it passed with a unanimous vote. A copy of the expenditure report for the period ending September 30, 1985, was filed with the Board.
