Mrs. Clark felt that nothing would be gained by describing the
problems in greater detail, since it was the Commissioners who
would have to take any corrective action; and they could request
more details if they desired them. Nancy Clark made a motion
that the Council send the preliminary audit notes to the County
Commissioners along with some general statements of the Council 's
concerns in this area. The motion died for lack of a second.
Robert Martin felt that it was best to present a detailed report to
the Commissioners. Floyd Oliver felt that the Council should get
more information on the subject and present it to the Commissioners
before budget review time. Floyd Oliver made a motion that Mr.
Jenkins be instructed to complete his audit on county vehicles,
though not in too much detail, and have a report ready in two
weeks. Robert Martin seconded the motion.
Discussion was held regarding the priorities of various areas that
Mr. Jenkins was auditing. Floyd Oliver withdrew his motion w th
the approval of the second. John Martin stated that the audi need
only contain enough details to verify that there is a problem Bob
White and John Martin felt that the Council should be very sp cific
in outlining assignments to Mr. Jenkins.
Robert Martin made a motion that the Council leave the direction
of the county vehicles audit to the President to work out with
Mr. Jenkins. Floyd Oliver seconded the motion and it carried.
BUILDING INSPECTORS AUDIT: John Martin stated that he felt that the
Council had completed the necessary investigation into the building
inspection problems as these problems were being resolved. Bob
White felt that the Council 's actions in the matter should be
summarized into a report. John Martin was instructed to prepare
such a report for the next meeting.

purchase orders numbered 0910, 0911, 14283 and 14284 be approved.
