From Raeford, Police Chief

tique clock and a handmade anti
que chest valued at about $900

On New Year's Day, Candice

Raeford attorney Phil Diehl ad
dressed problems with the building
in meeting state regulations gover
ning handicapped laws.
The building is not complying
with the laws, Diehl said in a letter
to the commissioners.
Many problems are associated
with the building and some of
them stem from the second story
courtroom.
The only accesses to the room
are via narrow stairways in the
front and rear.
There is no way for a handicap
ped person to get up the stairs
without having to be carried.
Investigations into installing an
elevator in the building have been
met with high costs.
Currently, there are about
$193,000 in a fund for court house
renovations.
A certain amount of every fine
paid in the court house is set aside
for maintenance of the old
building.

In other action during the
meeting, a request from the Hoke
Literacy Council, for $1, 000 addi
tional funding, was tabled until the
next meeting.
As she had told Hoke County
Commissioners earlier in the day,
the Hoke Literacy Council has not
spent a great deal of effort this
year in fund raising activities, said
Literacy Director Barbara Buie.
Instead, the efforts of the
organization have been put toward
teaching.
"We did not set up as a fund
raising organization although over
the last year one would not know
it," said Buie.
Although Councilman Benny
McCloud praised the Literacy
Council for the job they do in
Raeford, he had some questions
about where support money
should come from.
. "I really think it ought to be
under county funding," said Mc
Cloud.
He also asked if the Literacy
Council had asked the Hoke Coun
ty Board of Education for any
money.
The Board of Education does
not want to have to choose bet
ween public education and
literacy, answered Buie.
According to the Literacy Direc
tor, Scotland, Cumberland and
Mecklenburg counties receive
funding from the federal level
through the community college
system, but Hoke has been unable
to land any of that money for local
residents.
"Because we are not duplicating
services nationally (with school
systems), we hope there will be
stabilized funds for us soon," said
Buie adding that there are none
currently.
As a matter of information to
councilmen, City Manager Tom
Phillips addressed the trailers at
J.W. Turlington School.
There is an amendment to a pro
posed new city zoning ordinance
now being studied by Department
of Natural Resources and Com
munity Development (NRCD)
allowing schools to use "modular"
classrooms, said Phillips.
According to the manager, the
proposal will be returned to the
Raeford Planning Board who will
make a recommendation to the
City Council.
Raeford City Councilmen also:
?Approved four amendments
to the city's personnel policy with
Councilman Gentry voting "no."
?Heard a report saying that, for
the first time, the Raeford landfill
received a totally clean bill of
health in their last inspection.
?Received a letter from NRCD
concerning a water study. Sugges
tions for improving the system
were included.
?Heard monthly reports.
?Took a short executive session
to discuss matters of land acquisi
tion and disposal.
