Warren and Granville counties may get gainful employment as a result of a grant from the North Carolina Private Industry Council. The Council has approved $12,965 in Title VII CETA funding to purchase equipment for the INCO Sheltered Workshop in Henderson, according to Douglas Dixon, area mental retardation services director INCO is the combined operations of the old Lakeland Industries and Gaston Enterprises of Vance and Warren counties, respectively. Dixon said the grant will go to purchase equipment for woodworking, industrial sewing, laundering services, automobile maintenance, buildings and grounds main tenance and other industrial type operations With appropriate, modern <quipment and adequate training, more contracts with private businesses and industry are possible, Dixon stressed He said he had positive responses from Old South Accessories. Laurens Glass, Burlington Industries, Wallace Cawthorne. Novo Biochemicls, and Vance-Granville Community College about work which could be contracted out to INCO. The area mental health board authorized Dixon to use the $12,965 for equipment purchases in the seven categories of workshop activities at their Jan. 25 meeting The board also authorized Dixon to formally apply for available vocational rehabilitation funds to purchase an IBM electric typewriter, a copier and equipment to evaluate the potential and skill levels of handicapped clients at INCO. Upon a motion by Bennie Ray Gupton. seconded by Dr Charles Rollins, the board postponed action on proposed longevity pay, additional petty leave, and changes in overtime pay and sick leave provisions. Thomas McBride, area mental health director, said a staff committee suggested the changes. Rollins, who is health director for Vance and Granville counties, noted mental health pay and fringe benefits are more like those of state agencies than local government agencies such as social services and health He said he "got flack" when employees of his department learn their counterparts in other local agencies are receiving more pay and benefits. "Are you going by everything the state has, or what local agencies have?" Rollins inquired. McBride said he would like to keep salaries and benefits competitive with private and state agencies. He said multi-county area mental health programs are considered state subdivisions, and are neither county nor state. According to the N. C. Local Government Commission, area mental health programs, like counties and cities, are subject to provisions of the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act. By law. the pay plan of an area mental health program cannot exceed that of the highest county plan in their service area McBride said longevity pay is not considered a part of any regular pay plan.
