Board of Education. Six school
districts in the state have foundatioas
to receive funds from different
organizations that may be used for a
variety of programs, he added.
"It's similar to what Brunswick
Technical College has established,"
Yarbrough said. "It will have a taxexempt
status that will encourage
people to donate. Many donors would
like to remain anonymous, but can't
if they give directly to the school
system. Then it's a matter of public
record."

According to the bids, LeBlanc's
equipment would cost $241,236 with a
guaranteed annual savings of
$121,308. Carefree Inc. proposed
$369,945 in equipment costs and
$128,850 in savings while Johnson bidded
$296,602 in costs and $46,700 in
savings. Cost of the equipment would
come from the guaranteed savings
on utility bills, Adcock said.
The board agreed to draft a letter
of intent to enter into a contract with
LeBlanc, with details of the agreement
still to be worked out.

According to plant operations
supervisor Bill Turner, an additional

a later date. The sanitary district will
run two-inch main water lines to each

eu by neighboring counties.
At the January meeting, a Supply
resident asked the board to drop the
user fees, saying they created a hardship
on some organizations wishing
to use the facility.
Such fees are used to pay utility
costs and janitor or custodial
salaries, Hankins said. Hankins said
for-profit groups are charged the
most to discourage them from relying
on the schools as a meeting site.
In New Hanover County, non-profit
groups are allowed to use the
buildings free of charge, but county
commissioners appropriate funds to
cover their costs, said Linden
Mathews-Boone, community schools
coordinator.
"I'm not saying the fee schedule
couldn't be improved," she added.
"All counties are re-evaluating their
fee scales because they're going
through the same problems."
Other Business
In other business, the board:
Asked that Yarbrough meet with
County Manager Billy Carter to
discuss the county's lease of the old
Waccamaw Elementary School
building.
Approved a salary proposal to in

salaries by one step for every two or
three steps they are behind on the
scale, Adcock said. Adcock said the
increase represents "a little less than
half the need." Cost for raising the
salaries as funds hecome available
would be $3,035 per month, or $15,175
for five months.
Authorized Adcock to make provisions
in the 1985-86 budget for noncertifled
salary adjustments as funds
become available. Job descriptions
for all non-certified employees will
also be established.
Approved a one-year contract
