Mr. Oliver: This study is to conduct a fire location study.
What it will basically come up with is to determine where the
strategic places the fire stations should be located. It may come
to the conclusion that in some cases fire stations are located to
closely together. We believe that will be one of the findings and
recommend some reallocation. We also believe that in the southern
part of the county that it will be determined that there are not a
sufficient number of fire stations. The firm is David M. Griffith
and Associates.

Mr. Wall: Judge Hamrick has been looking at getting someone
to collect tl:e old fines from MuniciDal Court and the Drooation I
company that is handling the services for the state court has
agreed to an amendment to their contract. They will handle the old
cases for 35% on accive cases and 40% on inactive cases, where the
I
I
I
people are not coming in paying, is basically a file that we are
getting no revenue from. In the event that they are able to
collect on those.fines, then they would get 40% of it. On the
active cases where an individual is down there and someone is
coming in periodically making payment on those cases it will be 35%
that they would collect on those. We currently have one employee
in Municipal Court. That employee would continue for a period of
time, because there are reports that need to be filed with the
State, there is some data processing that needs to be done. There
is a good deal of work that needs to be done. This way we will put
in some financial controls that need to be there in so far as the
handling of the funds and to provide a mechanism and a good system
to finish out those cases.
After further conversation;
MR. SHEPARD:
So move.
MR. MAYS:
Second.
