The current proposal is for each of the four

31. f. Probate Taxes – Woody Lookabill suggests adoption of probate tax as a way of increasing revenues supporting the operation of the Clerk’s Office. A tax of one-third of one percent of the value of the estate would result in between $7,000 to $10,000 in additional revenue per year. The Board has been provided with a letter of request from Woody Lookabill. It is recommended that the Board schedule a public hearing on this matter at the February meeting.

32. g. Central Water & Sewer Project Loan Resolution - Adoption of the resolution provided to the Board is requested. Adoption of the Management and Operation Agreement for Pulaski County Central Water and Sewer Project is recommended. An agreement between the PSA and Board for operation of the water and sewer systems is required as part of the funding criteria.

33. h. Endorsement - State-Wide Local Government Work Group – The Board has been provided with the 2003 Legislative recommendations of a State-Wide Local Government Work Group addressing Comprehensive Service Act funding. The anticipated 2003-04 cost of the program in Pulaski County is estimated to be $1.6 million of which approximately $526,000 funded by the County. As a shared expense, addressing these costs would be a savings to both the state and county. Board endorsement of the recommendations is requested.

34. i. Support for Full Emergency Medical Services Funding – Adoption of a resolution opposing use of Four for Life funds as a substitute for existing state expenditures is recommended.

35. j. Support for NRV Community Services Application for Youth Violence Prevention Grant – Funding - The Board is requested to endorse the support offered by Community Activities Director Anthony Akers.

36. k. Additional Part-time Dispatcher – Sheriff Davis requests the allocation of $11,500 for reemployment of a part-time dispatcher as a way of adjusting to the heavy call volume from cellular phones now that 911 calls from cell phones are now routed to county dispatch rather than to the State Police. Approval of this request is recommended.

37. l. Farmers Market on Washington and Third Parking Lot – Greater Pulaski Incorporated (GPA) is requesting the possible use of this parking lot for a Farmer’s Market each Saturday. There is no county use of this lot on Saturdays. Thus, approval is recommended based on acceptance by GPA of general liabilities including the potential for damage to planters and clean-up of all trash from the premises following the market activities.

38. m. Gas Severance Tax – The Board has been provided with a copy of a draft ordinance prepared by Mr. McCarthy for consideration by the Board. Scheduling of a public hearing for the February Board meeting is recommended as the next step in implementation of this tax.

39. n. Purchase of 2001 Subaru Legacy – Ratification of the purchase of a 2001 Subaru at a cost of $9,000 is requested. Another four-wheel drive vehicle will be needed by the building inspection department with the hiring of another inspector. This vehicle provides a very economical means of 4-wheel drive transportation. In order to reduce the overall number of vehicles needed, we plan to surplus a used former Sheriff’s office vehicle and pool the use of the Astro van, two Blazers, and the Subaru between the Subdivision Agent, two Building Inspectors, Zoning

40. Administrator, the Community Development Director and the County Administrator. Thus, 6 persons will be sharing 4 vehicles. The Subaru offered by the Alliance has a Kelly Blue Book value of $14,700 or $5,700 more than it is being offered for. The vehicle has been driven 41,000 miles and is in excellent condition. Shop equipment is capable of servicing a metric tooled vehicle.

41. o. Administration of Dry Well Replacement Program – Designation of the Southeast Regional Community Assistance Project, Inc. as the administrators of this program is recommended based on their current administration of the County’s Indoor Plumbing Rehabilitation program and long term service to county residents in providing assistance with water and sewer connections. Utilization of this agency would place all water/sewer related assistance under one administrative agency.

42. p. Consideration of Support for Isle of Wight Position on Taxation of Cigarettes – Enclosedis correspondence from the County of Isle of Wight requesting Board support that will provide county governments the authority to impose a local tax on the sale of cigarettes.
