Mr. Wilson stated that last year an effort was made to cut costs
for the school system which resulted in the closing of some schools. Two
schools in particular, Pinkard Court and Mount Vernon were closed. A study
was made on the best future use of these two buildings and determination was
made that Mount Vernon was not large enough for their use as office space.

Therefore, it was recommended to both Boards that Mount Vernon and Pinkard
Court schools be declared surplus property by the County School system and
be turned over to the County in exchange for the Health Department Building

to vacate space at Andrew Lewis, and the County to transfer funds for
renovation of the Health Department (see appropriation resolution);
recommendation was adopted on motion of Dr. tJilliam D. Ergle and the followi
recorded vote.
