County Aid (Continued from page 1) The policy authorizes the county to spend about $20,000 for the pro ject. MOTIVATIONAL The commissoners also during the meeting adopted a motion accepting a recommendation of the County Youth Task Force to approve a Motivational Recreation Program for 150 youths ages 10-17. The motion provides the county apply for additional State Com munity-Based Alternatives funds allocated to the county. The funds totaled $1,995. The county share would amount to $199.50 but in "in kind" payment rather than cash, of the total budget of $2,194.50. Ken Witherspoon, director of the Hoke County Department of Social Services, in presenting the propo sal, told the commissioners that written recommendations of the program had been issued by Rae ford Police Chief Leonard Wiggins, County Juvenile Court Counselor Jan Dial, and Hoke County Sheriff David Barrington. Ann Pate, County Parks and Recreation Com mission director, told the commis sioners the money would be used to employ adults to be responsible for the activities, which would be held in school gymnasiums. She said the commission has no funds now for employing adults for this service. In separate action regarding the Task Force, the commissioners appointed Miss Dial, Hank Richards and Christy Posey for terms expiring June 30. SEMIPRO BASEBALL The commissioners tabled until their mid-month meeting January 18 a decision on a request to give the Hoke County Semi- Pro Base ball Associaton $650 to help sup port its first year's program. Jimmie Conoly, the association's general manager, informed the commissioners the association has raised half of its S2.600 goal but needs help to get the remainder. He planned to ask the Raeford City Council Monday night for $650 also. Conoly said SI, 300 of the goal has been raised from donations and association-sponsored events such as turkey shoots. He said the association plans for the team to be self-supporting when it gets started and that revenues obtained would go to the County Parks and Recreation Commission. He said the money is to come from gate receipts at the games and that no player would be paid. The motion to table action was made to allow County Attorney Duncan McFadyen time to deter mine the legal question of a county contribution. VISITORS' AREA The commissioners adopted a motion to have an area for visitors designed for the county jail. The commissioners acted after heamg the sheriff report that the jail now needs the area because the pri soner population has grown, con sequently so have the numbers of visitors, since the jail was built in 1968. He said that on weekends, the 20 to 30 prisoners are in the cells on the average. ? SENIOR CITIZENS COORDI NATOR The commissioners presented Mrs. Bartie Haire a resolution of appreciation on her retirement as county senior citizens' coordinator. She took the position last July 1 and retired December 31 because her husband also was retiring. ^ In separate action, the commis- " sioners approved a recommenda tion by Witherspoon changing the status of the coordinator position. The motion adopted by the board reclassifies the position to human resource aide paying $7,237 to $9,476 from the present official title of Clerk V, paying $10,854 to $14,257 but the working title will remain as it has been: "senior citizens coordinator." | The commissioners were in formed that the work week is 30 hours, rather than 40. The reclassi fication was asked because "since a significant portion of time is spent in transportation, a Human Re source Aide classification is more appropriate." Witherspoon said in a statement to County Manager James Martin. * The work week reduction to 30 hours Witherspoon recommended f because "this will give adequate time to accomplish transportation services and other related senior citizens' activities."
